Intermediate Improv Course (201) with TBC Improv Spain - Winter '26

Overview

101 focused on the core skills for improvisers to create spontaneous performances. 102 and 103 focussed on shortform & longform respectively.

In Intermediate Improv (201) we'll help students continue on their improv journey by further honing these improvisation skills and learning how to utilise them in the creation of the backbone of our craft: scene-work.

Students will learn - through support, listening, character, physicality and more - how to create scenes that are as enjoyable to perform in as they are engaging to watch. The course will explore how improv performers go about creating scenes on the spot, including: what details help to create a believable reality; understanding why the scene "exists"; how to create rewarding comedy scenes that are worthy of the expression "you had to be there!".

Topics covered by workshop

• Base Reality (the context of the scene: the who/what/where/why)
• Relationships (who are the people in the scene and why the audience should care about them)
• "The Game" of the Scene (aka the "funny" in a comedy scene - what it is, how to recognise it and how to play it)
